Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 636 610: Something Feels Off

The three of them could clearly feel that as long as they stayed beside Chen Shouyi, the originally cold aura dissipated quickly like mist under the scorching sun, and even the light became slightly brighter. They couldn't help but feel secretly shocked; this kind of power was simply unimaginable.

Chen Shouyi took several turns and, within a few minutes, stopped in front of some ruins.

This was a pile of ruins left by collapsed buildings, now only a half-crumbled wall and a mess of bricks remained.

Zhang Mingtao tentatively asked, "President Chen, have you seen the Natural Spirits?"

"No, not yet, but this should be the source." Chen Shouyi shook his head and said.

"Could it be a Spatial Passage?" Director Zhao said, "I'll go make a call to get an excavator here!"

"No need, it's a waste of time!"

Chen Shouyi stepped onto the ruins, where rich Original Force mixed with a cold aura emanated out.

"It's here."

Following his intuition to find the location, he turned back and said, "Everyone, spread out a bit."

The group dared not hesitate and scattered quickly at his command.

In the next moment, everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts, only to see countless stones defy gravity, shooting out like fountains in all directions.

Some of the solidified concrete even weighed several tons, yet it was still flung away by an invisible force.

Everyone watched this miraculous scene with faces full of wonder, instinctively retreating further. It only took a few seconds for a large section of the ruins to be cleared, revealing the foundation below.

Chen Shouyi leaped in, stamping his foot forcefully.

"Boom!"

The blast wave erupted, making everyone's ears ring with explosions.

All ears rang loudly, and they were aghast.

No matter how strong or terrifying the rumors of this existence were, seeing it with their own eyes was an entirely different level of shock, beyond comprehension.

With Chen Shouyi's current strength of 21.4, even without transforming, the strength of his arms reached ten tons, and his legs, needing to be multiplied by three, reached thirty tons.

Though far less than in his Giant Transformation, the power of one stomp was about equivalent to one kilogram of TNT.

The equivalent of a 76mm high-explosive shell, or moving a one-ton object 420 meters.

The sound of explosions was ceaseless.

After stamping over a dozen times, the roadside beneath his feet began to crumble, soon revealing a Spatial Passage five to six meters in diameter.

His body hovered slightly and then entered the other world without hesitation.

...

Seeing President Chen enter the Spatial Passage and disappear.

"Should we go take a look?" Li Yuanwu swallowed and suggested.

"Yeah, together!" Zhang Mingtao nodded in agreement.

"I have no objections either!" Director Zhao voiced his agreement.

Witnessing the combat of one of the world's top masters was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Missing this chance might mean never encountering one again, not to mention they were dealing with a mysterious Natural Spirit; the curiosity was like a cat's scratching.

Their opinions aligned, they approached the Spatial Passage.

The Spatial Passage was formless and intangible, like a connection between two spaces. From here, they could observe the conditions on the other side, such as height, whether it was land or water.

Fortunately, the height wasn't high, only about two meters from the ground.

For a Martial Artist, it was no concern at all.

The group quickly jumped down, and before they could see clearly, their bodies were blown rolling on the ground by a gust of wind.

Li Yuanwu quickly grabbed a nearby branch to steady himself, looked up, and was immediately stunned. A grand Giant holding a bone club was striding towards a dark mountain range nearby, with arcs of electricity flickering around him.

Thud, thud, thud...

Each step of the Giant caused the ground to tremble, and rocks bounced.

And the wind here was merely the airflow stirred by his movement.

"This... is this... President Chen!?" Zhang Mingtao bent over, struggling against the strong wind, stammered.

"It... it should be!" Li Yuanwu also felt his legs go weak.

Who else but President Chen, especially when... the torn layers of his fabric were still flying in the sky.

"Where's Lao Zhao?" Li Yuanwu, eyes fixed on the Giant ahead, asked.

"Behind you." Director Zhao quickly caught up, excitedly saying, "Today's an eye-opener; we can brag about this for a lifetime."

While they were talking, the Giant suddenly sped up.

The air was like the sea torn apart by a giant wheel, lifting the earth and trees into the air, even blocking out the sun. He surged towards the mountain, surrounded by a ring of transparent shockwaves.

In the next moment, the Giant stomped the ground again, his colossal body soaring into the sky, quickly becoming a small dot.

Then, the bone club heavily smashed down onto the mountain peak.

A shockwave flashed by, accompanied by blinding flames rising. The mountaintop had turned to dust, rocks flying.

Kilometers away, the group watched the breathtaking scene in a daze, feeling their scalp tingle and bodies stiffen.

After blasting away half of the mountain, Chen Shouyi didn't stop, the air beneath his feet solidified automatically, and with a slight leverage, he once again smashed downward.

Transparent shockwaves erupted consecutively, flattening the mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"I... I feel something's not right..." Li Yuanwu stammered, watching the flying trees and huge rocks in the distance.

"I... feel the same." Zhang Mingtao's face looked grim.

The group exchanged glances.

In the next moment, a wave blew them away again.

"Ahhh..."

Everyone screamed harshly.

No one knew how far they flew or how many somersaults they turned before finally rolling to the ground. Fortunately, this was a grassland with soft soil, and they were all Martial Artists, a bit battered but uninjured.

The group stood up, covered in dust, still with lingering fear.

It was terrifying; even from kilometers away, they didn't expect to be affected.

...

The severe damage to the mountain rendered the Natural Spirit residing within unable to hold back any longer. Threads of dark wind like tentacles fluttered upwards, bringing a chilling air that dimmed even the sunshine overhead.

In just half a second, the dark wind gathered into a towering, over twenty meters high, phantom of a hideous beast, silently roaring and charging at Chen Shouyi.

He felt a slight disturbance in his consciousness, squinting his eyes slightly.

"This Natural Spirit is quite strong!"

His will gathered, the interference in his mind was entirely blocked out. At the same time, an invisible power spread, dissipating the cold atmosphere in the air. With a pure willpower reaching twenty-one points, approaching the Divine Power of a Demigod, how could a mere Natural Spirit withstand it?

The previously fierce Natural Spirit keenly sensed danger and was nearly scared out of its wits, trying to scatter its body and merge back into the earth.

However, it was too late.

With just a thought from Chen Shouyi,

the enormous phantom Natural Spirit was fixed in mid-air, its body rapidly melting as if drenched in acid.
